- A minimum of 3 years post-graduation commercial construction cost estimating experience.
- Experience measuring diverse projects from new builds to fit-outs.

- Excellent communication and leadership skills.
- In-depth knowledge of construction industry best practices and the latest market trends and pricing.

Moreover, we take pride in our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and sustainability. As an ISO-accredited company in the HSSQ space, we prioritise your safety and satisfaction and offer health insurance to all employees.

Our team works hard but also plays hard - everything from skiing, mountain biking, golf, and paintball to jet boating, beers, and BBQs. (Seriously though - we cook a mean BBQ).

**The Cook Brothers' Difference**:
We've been in the construction game for eighteen years, and we've weathered the booms and busts of the industry. Our team grew from a small presence in Dunedin to a trusted, reputable, reliable national network over five regions; Auckland, Canterbury, Otago, Queenstown and Wanaka.

This is not just a job; it's an opportunity. Join an award-winning company recognised for its innovation, craftsmanship, and commitment to quality. With us, you can turn your passion into an opportunity for growth and success.
